Today’s roundtable with Ashley Blackington of the And/Both Podcast features two guests who are passionate about empowering women to slow down and live with intention in community with others.

Heather Chauvin is a coach, TedX speaker, and host of the Emotionally Uncomfortable Podcast, who turned a stage 4 cancer diagnosis into a mission to help ambitious, overwhelmed moms lead with clarity and courage at home and at work. Amri Kibbler, who also navigated her own cancer diagnosis, is a passionate advocate for women’s health and well-being, as well as the former co-founder of Hey Mama, the leading networking community for moms in business. 

Our conversation is packed with wisdom on resilience, health, entrepreneurship, and what it means to live in alignment. We talk about creating boundaries, how to effectively manage your time and energy, and how to be bold enough to be the real version of yourself. Get ready to think about how to show up for the life you really want.

We all know that with the rise of technology, our kids are growing up in a vastly different world than we did. Regardless of your house rules on phones and screen time, it’s likely that every kid will be exposed to social media in some way, which has a worrisome amount of power over their view of themselves and the world. 

Dino Ambrosi, founder of Project Reboot, is on a mission to help the next generation build a better relationship with technology, in order to reclaim time and regain focus. He explains exactly how much of our precious lives are being traded away for screen time. While it’s not necessarily realistic to ban screens altogether (for ourselves or our kids), it is crucial that we teach our kids how to use technology with intention, because how we spend our time shapes who we become.

We’re back with another roundtable, and this week Ashley and I get to chat with two powerhouse guests. Alison Campbell is a former HR tech exec, and now is the founder of unBurnt, a company redefining how we prevent burnout. Dr. Sheryl Ziegler is a clinical psychologist and author of the books Mommy Burnout and The Crucial Years. These two women are on a mission to rewire how we think about stress, success, self-worth, and how we raise the next generation.

Our conversation dives deep into what burnout really feels like, why many of us miss the signs of it, the systems that perpetuate it, how to heal your nervous system, and what it takes to raise burnout-resistant kids. This is a must-listen for anyone tired of just pushing through.

Becky Schmooke is a mom, speaker, author, and leadership coach who blends mindfulness, stoic philosophy, and a whole lot of humor to help us lead others well by first leading ourselves. Her work empowers others to live with intentionality, rather than reactivity. 

Today’s conversation dives into what real leadership looks like, how to turn obstacles into opportunities, and how to practice the kind of presence that creates change. Leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about the small choices we make every day to learn, grow, and help those around us.

Today’s episode is the second installment of our new roundtable discussions on motherhood, a collaboration with Ashley Blackington, the host of the And/Both Podcast. In this episode, we’re joined by two multi-passionate working moms—Alli Kushner and Kate Tovsen.

Alli is the founder of BeeKyn, a soon-to-launch playdate matching and scheduling platform designed to make it easier for parents to foster meaningful, real-life connections. Her work focuses on building supportive spaces to help families navigate the everyday tension between career, caregiving, and community.

Kate is a mom of two, a digital creator and founder of Kate Tovsen Media, and the force behind The Society of Working Moms, an online supportive community for and by working moms of all ages and stages. She is passionate about connecting moms to create a network of support, ideas, and friendships.

Today’s conversation may just help you see a glimpse of yourself, and remind you that you’re not behind, you’re not alone, and facing your fears is often the first step in reclaiming the life you may feel you’ve lost.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I sat down with Future Cain, a powerhouse leader of social-emotional intelligence, leadership, wellness, and belonging. We discuss how mental health isn’t a one-and-done task, but rather a daily practice of caring for yourself so that you can give to others from the overflow. Future explains how we can fully appreciate what we have when we choose to love and care for ourselves—and only then can we truly lead others well.

Today’s episode is something new and exciting at PG-ish! I’ve teamed up with Ashley Blackington, the host of the And/Both Podcast, to bring together some incredible women we both admire—women who are making waves and doing beautiful work in the world. In this inaugural roundtable discussion, we chat with Jess from ELIXR Coaching and Leslie from Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs about the very real struggles of women navigating the balance of motherhood and work. While there is much work to be done to change our modern corporate system, we believe that the first step is to start conversations that can spark a ripple effect of change moving forward.
